Since basically forever I use DejaVu Sans for UI elements and DejaVu Mono for the terminal.

Yeah, don’t let us be too nitpicky here. They intentionally make it not run on Linux because of their spyware. So it’s entirely their fault.

that’s not the developers fault.

Forcing Ring0 spyware on the users IS the developers fault by 100%.

I think the reason is stupid and it is contrary to what I expect from dockerized applications.

docker ps or Portainer as a nice web-UI wrapper around the Docker commands are the two main use cases with Docker I have have on a regular basis.

No, thank you. I am not going to maintain fifty containers and fifty + X volumes for just a handful of applications and will alway prefer self-contained applications over applications that spread over multiple containers for no real reason.

See it in a broader scope. If I’d only host Lemmy with is multiple mandatory things, I couldn’t care less, but I already have some other applications that I run via Docker. Fortunately I was able to keep the footprint small, no multiple containers or volumes for one application, but as said: those exist. And they would clutter the setup and make it harder to maintain an manage.

I also stand by my point that it is counter-intuitive to have multiple containers and volumes for just one single application.

To me, the point of Docker is having one container for one specific application. And I see the database as part of the application. As well as all other things needed to run that application.

Since we’re here, lets take Lemmy for example. It wants 6 different containers with a total of 7 different volumes (and I need to manually download and edit multiple files before even touching anything Docker-related).

In the end I have lemmy, lemmy-ui, pictrs, postgres, postfix-relay, and an additional reverse proxy for one single application (Lemmy). I do not want or need or use any of the containers for anything else except Lemmy.

There are a lot of other applications that want me to install a database container, a reverse proxy, and the actual application container, where I will never ever need, or want, or use any of the additional containers for anything else except this one application.

So in the end I have a dozen of containers and the same amount of volumes just to run 2-3 applications, causing a metric shit-ton of maintenance effort and update time.

To me the number one thing is, that it is easy to setup via Docker. One container, one network (ideally no network but just using the default one), one storage volume, no additional manual configuration when composing the container.

No, I don’t want a second container for a database. No I don’t want to set up multiple networks. Yes, I already have a reverse proxy doing the routing and certificates. No, I don’t need 3 volumes for just one application.

Please just don’t clutter my environment.

Bluesky is a circle jerk

Thats the problem of all corporate-funded social media.

The ONLY connection I want my mail client to make, is the one to my configured mail server.

EVERY other connection it makes is to be seen as malicious.

Classic Mozilla.

Now that K-9 was killed by a for-profit corporation: What good mail clients are out there?

Vice president Trump would be so mad!

You need more training then.

Venture capital and crypto money do not last forever and they need to maintain and run a for-profit corporation.

The question is not IF they will sell some soft of “pro accounts” and have advertising, the question is only WHEN they will have it. My guess is before Q3/2025.

“open core” is pretty much “proprietary, but we won’t call it like that, we will also sue you if you use our code”

Does it support logging in to YouTube to have access to purchased content, premium content, subscribers-only content, etc?

I should’ve had that backed up

Absolutely! IT’s time to check out Stow now. With this you can easily manage your configuration and dotfiles (and all other data) in a single location.

I know how shared webhosting works. This is why I wonder why the author thinks containers and chroots are the same thing.

So they say I can run a dozen of different web applications on the same machine all on the same port internally and different port externally and have a reverse proxy forwarding the traffic to the correct port based on the hostname it was called with by simply using a bunch of chrooted environments?
